Connor Storrie is showing some serious range with his highly-anticipated role in season 19 of Criminal Minds: Evolution. The first two episodes of the 10-episode season dropped on May 28 on Paramount+, and while the streaming service recently eliminated its free trial period directly through the site, customers who sign up for one of DirecTV’s Signature packages will get three months of Paramount+ Premium included at no cost. This is on top of DirecTV’s five-day free trial.
While Storrie did not appear in the two-part premiere, his four-episode story arc begins on June 11 with episode four. See below for the season 19 rollout schedule and more on the streaming service’s plans (and deals).

Where to Watch Criminal Minds: Evolution With Paramount+ Free Trial
While Paramount+ no longer offers a free trial period directly through its site, there is a little-known workaround through partner subscription DirecTV. Here’s how it works: Customers who sign up for one of the streaming service’s Entertainment, Choice or Ultimate packages can get three months of Paramount+ Premium, HBO Max, STARZ, Cinemax and MGM+ included at no cost ($175 value). Plus, DirecTV offers a five-day free trial for any of its plans, meaning new members can stream Criminal Minds: Evolution (and everything else Paramount+ has to offer) at absolutely no cost during that period.
Here’s exactly how to claim the offer: Simply select your preferred signature package, then opt to add Paramount+ where it instructs you to pick your add-ons. As indicated, you’ll automatically get three months of the service included in your subscription. After three months, unless cancelled at any time, DirecTV’s premium add-ons will renew monthly at the then-prevailing rate.
